Amos 7:4-6

New Living Translation

A Vision of Fire

⁴ Then the Sovereign Lord showed me another vision. I saw him preparing to punish his people with a great fire. The fire had burned up the depths of the sea and was devouring the entire land. ⁵ Then I said, “O Sovereign Lord, please stop or we will not survive, for Israel is so small.”

⁶ Then the Lord relented from this plan, too. “I will not do that either,” said the Sovereign Lord.
